| Reverse description | A finely detailed Barbary ape (Macaca sylvanus) is depicted seated in left profile at centre field, rendered with naturalistic musculature and fur texture by engraver Christopher Ironside. The animal rests upon a rocky ledge, its head turned slightly upward, conveying the iconic character of Gibraltar's famous resident macaques. The issuer name GIBRALTAR arcs around the upper periphery, separated by raised dots, while the denomination 25 NEW PENCE curves along the lower periphery, also punctuated by dots. |
